Kagan the Damned by Jonathan Maberry
That was disappointing. The book started off really well and I thought I was in for a good sword and sorcery epic. But not. After the big castle battle, Kagan spends the next quarter of the book drunk and feeling sorry for himself. That makes for compelling reading. Meanwhile the rest of the characters sit around talking about what they are going to do and how they are going to do it.
The end is fairly predictable and I guessed the big reveal coming from a long way off. Maberry also decides to throw Cthulu and some of the other elder gods in there just to be fun.
I'm pretty sure I won't read the rest of the trilogy.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
